Fall To Fall

Almost exactly one year ago, Beth did our family photos. We looked like this:

A year later, we look like this. I've lost ten pounds and some hair, but I have gained SO SO MUCH.
See?

The sling I'm wearing is a Sakura Bloom that I borrowed from Steph, and I love it so much that when I give it back to her I might actually do that thing when you hand something to someone but then you refuse to let go.

Luke was being a punk and refusing to get anywhere near the camera, but the joke is on him because that photo turned out so lovely.

Photos by Beth Fletcher Photography. If you live in Northwest Indiana, you should definitely hire her, because she is obviously so very amazing at what she does.

Oh, these photos are amazing. LOVE them. So real and true to life. I can say this because I've been around your family. This is it.

You know that sling is made out of some magic silk that makes you NEED it, right? :)

Okay, so I took a nap and woke up all weepy and lovey and then I came here and GAH!

First of all, I have improved. (thankfully!) :)

Secondly, you guys have improved, too. One more gorgeous baby to love on, one more precious head to kiss. I just ADORE you guys and feel so happy that I was able to capture all of you and the love you guys have for each other.

Beautiful pictures, beautiful family! Love it!

Ah yes. Family photos with a baby and a 2 year old. We just did ours this past weekend. My 2 yo was just as uncooperative, but we actually got a few decent ones.
My two boys are 21 mos apart - I think yours are around the same?
good times. :)

LOVE these photos! The first one is lovely and all, but I hope that Beth will take it as a compliment when I say that she has really grown as a photographer in the past year! This year's photos are sooooo good! And post-production is fabulous, too. Great great great! :)

And beautiful family, of course! :)

These photos are like looking out a window into the past, the present and the future. I see so much more than the beauty of the moments... I see your hearts and hear your voices. I feel your arms and taste the kisses of your beautiful boys. There is really no other word but priceless. Beth is a genius and she has the loveliness of the universe to capture. She captured everything...

They're so wonderful, just as I knew they would be. I love how the sling color coordinates with the clothes with the blue and the little red tag. What a beautiful family you have.
